TERLY Local Delegation at Conference in State Hospital at Providence Thurs- day — Installation Ceremonies — Burial of Eugene O'Neill—Leonard Webster Suffers a Shock. President Maurice W, Fiynn and Charies G. Craig, Thomas E. Robin- son and Francis G. Haswell, a commit- tee of'the Westerly town council, upon invitation, were guests of the trustees of the Rhode lsland State Hospital, in Providence, Thursday. In addition to the Westerly delezation all other town councils in the state from towns, with- out hospitals, that have been accus- tomed to send cases to this hospital, were represented. Recently the trus- tees of the hospital notified the towns that by reason of the general increase in cost of maintenance, that there must be curtailment of charity cases, such a3 has been sent to the hospital from - Westerly and other towns and at no expense to the towns, and that in the future towns would be expected to pay for the care of patients. This whole matter was explained by the trustees and freely discussed and a_thorough understanding reached. Henceforth all towns sending patients to the Rhode Island hospital will do so with full re- alization that they will not be received as charity patients. The visitors were shown through the institution and had lunch with the board of trustees. The appeal of Captain George H. Webb, dir:c‘:or of draft in Rhode Isl- and, issued to school superintendents and principals of schools in the state, have been received in Westerly. They are asked to assist in the work of clas- sification of registrants under the new draft, in compliance with the sugges- tions of Provost Marshal Crowder. A meeting of superintendents of schools and principals of high schools will be held at the state capitol Saturday morning, when the line of work plan- ned by the government will be ex- plained. This will be really the first step in the conscription of labor to further the interests of the Uniteq States in this war.: In a statement sent to state of- ficials President Wilson states that all other needs must be deferred as the present needs of the government are paramount in this issue. When the classification is_complete a list of the registrants in Rhode Is- land will be sent to Washington and the government officials will be able to ascertain how many men fitted for a certain industrial line reside in the state, and are eligible for the work in other centres where they are needed. For this reason the classification must be completed as quickly as possible.
